Continuous Oven Loading & Unloading
- Up to 6 tons of sausages an hour
- For Hot-Dog Sausages & Cocktail Sausages
- We provide a complete, automated, cutting-edge solution
The Continuous Oven Loading & Unloading
The Velec Systems continuous oven loading and unloading solution automates the upstream and downstream phases of the line. The strings of sausages, coming from the stuffing line, are positioned on bars and then robotically loaded into a continuous oven for cooking, smoking, and cooling. At the exit, the bars are automatically unloaded and the strings are placed on several conveyors for cutting or peeling operations.
Continuous Oven Loading
- Up to 320 rods/hour
The Continuous Oven Loading Solution automates the transfer of sausage strings from the stuffing line to the cooking process. Products are precisely positioned onto bars and robotically loaded into the continuous oven.
Continuous Oven Unloading
- Up to 320 rods/hour
The Continuous Oven Unloading solution removes bars from the oven and transfer sausage strings onto conveyors. Products are smoothly directed toward cutting, peeling, or further processing with full control of flow. This ensures a continuous, reliable output after cooking and cooling.

Fully Automated Rods Handling
Our Continuous Oven Loading & Unloading solution is designed to automate not only sausage loading and unloading, but also the complete management of oven bars throughout production.
Maximize Yield and Line Efficiency
Ensure consistent product handling, minimize losses, and keep your line running smoothly.
Fully Automated Rods Handling
Our system automates the complete management of oven rods throughout the production process, reducing manual intervention and improving line continuity, hygiene, and reliability.
- Modular Infeed
The infeed can be adapted to the number of stuffing machines and the required production rate, ensuring smooth synchronization with upstream production. - Automatic Rod Return
A dedicated return line automatically transfers empty rods from the oven unloading area back to the loading section, avoiding unnecessary manual handling. - Integrated Rod Cleaning
A cleaning system can be integrated directly into the rod return line to help reduce bacteriological risks before rods re-enter the production cycle. - Rod Buffering System
Empty rods can be temporarily stored during product changeovers, production stops, or at the end of a production run, providing greater flexibility and smoother restarts. - Rod Straightness Inspection
An inspection system checks rod straightness and automatically removes damaged or non-compliant rods before they can disrupt production.

Frequently Asked Questions
A continuous oven loading and unloading system automates the transfer of sausage strings into and out of a continuous cooking, smoking, and cooling process.
Before cooking, sausage strings are positioned onto rods and robotically loaded into the oven. After cooling, the rods are automatically unloaded and the sausages are transferred onto conveyors for cutting, peeling, or further processing.
The solution is designed for hot-dog sausages, straight sausages, and cocktail sausages produced in strings.
The machine configuration is adapted to the product dimensions, sausage format, rod type, production speed, and downstream process.
The continuous oven loading solution can handle up to 230 rods per hour.
The oven unloading solution can process up to 6 tons of sausages per hour, depending on the product, rod configuration, oven capacity, and line layout.
The solution automates repetitive and physically demanding operations such as positioning sausage strings, handling loaded rods, loading the oven, and unloading products after cooking.
This reduces operator workload and limits manual intervention around hot, heavy, or continuously moving equipment.
The system can be adapted to different sausage dimensions, string configurations, and production requirements.
The exact changeover procedure depends on the differences between formats and the equipment included in the line.
Yes. Every solution is engineered around your plant configuration, available space, production flow, oven specifications, rod format, and required throughput.
Velec Systems can design either a standalone oven loading and unloading system or a complete, fully integrated sausage production line, from oven loading and unloading to cutting, peeling, primary packaging, secondary packaging, case packing, and palletizing.
